Concours ENMG — Magistrat Judiciaire: Suggested Study Strategy

1Review the LTGO's definitions and conditions rather than relying on imported formulations from another civil-law jurisdiction.
2Use the Penal Code text to distinguish legality, attempt, theft, and aggravated intentional homicide.
3Use the Code de procédure pénale to distinguish public and civil actions, judicial investigation, warrants, and trial-court composition.
4Map the TPI, Cour d'Appel, Cour de Cassation, Conseil d'État, and Cour des Comptes to their distinct functions.
5Practice analytical essay structuring in French separately, as MCQs test knowledge retention rather than composition technique.
